Abstract

AbstractIt has been observed in literature that the stability of tyrosinase‐mimicked μ‐η22‐peroxo‐dicopper(II) (P) can be perturbed in presence of counter‐anions (CAs) such as PhCO2, CF3SO3, TsO and SbF6. In this work, we unravel computational indicators using density functional theory to screen and study the stability of P in experimentally‐reported cases. These indicators are Gibbs energies, geometrical parameters such as distances and angles, independent gradient model based on Hirshfeld partition (IGMH) generated data, orbitals’ overlap, and distortion‐interaction (DI) energies. Our DFT computed Gibbs energies indicate that P is stable in case of PhCO2 and TsO. CF3SO3 allows P and its isoelectronic species bis‐μ‐oxo‐dicopper (O) to coexist. SbF6 shows that O is in excess. Our indicators reveal that the stability of P in case of PhCO2 and TsO is due to the better placing of P and its CA, thus leading to better interactions and overlap of orbitals. Other indicator displays that the plane of Cu2O2 core in P is more bend in PhCO2 and TsO cases as compared to the plane in the other two cases. In addition, the IGMH‐based indicator displays higher values in the case of PhCO2 and TsO than the other CAs.
